Bicycles still allowed on the train?

Ask us anything. Cambodia Expats Online has a huge community of long-term expats that can answer any question you may have about life in Cambodia. Have some questions you want to ask before you move to Cambodia? Ask them here. Our community can also answer any questions you have about how to find a job or what kind of work is available for expats in Cambodia, whether you're looking for info about Phnom Penh, Siem Reap, or anywhere else in the Kingdom. You're also welcome to ask about visa and work permit questions as well, as the immigration rules change often, especially since COVID-19. Don't be shy, ask CEO's community anything!

Okay, did you buy the bike ticket in advance, or will you pay today on arrival at the station. I think maybe I should just go buy all my tickets in advance...
I booked this last Tuesday. Khmer New Year travelers are out and about. We'll see how crowded the train is.
You wrote this post at noon. The train for Kampot and Sihanoukville leaves at 7:00 am. Did you mean you are travelling tomorrow?

BTW, online booking shows mostly empty seats for next week on Friday, Saturday...

HOW did you book for your moto online? Online the royalrailway site only shows bookings for passenger seats on the train ... Did you go to the train station to buy your ticket for yourself and your moto in advance...?

I am really frustrated with this ... I have to ride my bicycle to the train station just to buy a ticket and ask about putting the bike on the train...

As others noted, I recall now that the car for bikes is not available everyday... These clusterfuck Cambodians! The goddamn phone numbers don't work on the royal railway website, lol...

The train from Sihanoukviille to Kampot is scheduled to leave at 2pm but was about an hour late today. Yes, I went to the train station to purchase the tickets.

If there's money to be made, Khmers will find a way. Another thing I love about Cambodia
